Another day of thick fog sticking around most of the day with only limited periods of it lifting slightly before rolling in again.
It didnt affect me too much being back at work but its depressing when you can,t see the sky.
Some interesting reports today from Roy, the Oats Royd warden, of Tawny Owl showing well down there and also 2 Little Owl near to the owners house. Whether or not these two are the birds from the bottom field forced up because of the weather or differant birds remains to be seen but as DJS remarked the other day, its good to see Little Owl about after the long run of severe weather.
Also Roy reported a variety of birds down in the old railway station including, Fieldfare, Redwing, Green Woodpecker , Woodcock and several Grey Partridge.
He also commented that he had not had any more Buzzard sightings since well before the bad weather of the 2 birds seen regular at an undisclosed sight and the birds were quite probably movers.
